Indoor Table Top Braai - well sort of ....

Thanks to Anneliese and Paul bringing along their "Table Barbecue Grill", we were able to have an indoor meat, cheese and veggie cooking evening!  Everyone cooked their own food ... fun was had by all.


What would dinner be without drinks and toasts?



Before you start to use the 'braai' it's heated and sprinkled with salt.



Cooking in action!



Macaroons were a part of nearly every meal ... 

Building a snowperson ...


The girls started out 


As the head kept falling off .... an Engineer was summoned to assist.



Now we were getting somewhere!



Suddenly a Russian appeared ...



Who started a Snowball fight!  Can't trust those guys .....



The finished snowperson, dreadlocks and all!

So ... the weather has gone yukky .....  Misty and gloopy!  But we still went up to try our luck??

Skiing Day 1

Yay, sunshine for our 1st ski day! Not looking so good for the rest
of the week .. :-(

After not skiing for 3 years, the technique came back quickly and we
skiied from 09h00 until 11h00. Bruce decided to do a few more runs
when we came down after pizza and beer :-)


Snow, snow everywhere!











Drinks and .....


Pizza on the slopes

Geneva






1 night in Geneva, which isn't very pretty in Winter, everything gray and cold. Even the lake looks sad.


Up to Chamonix with Mountain Drop-offs

1 night until Bruce and the Mitchel Clan arrive and then we're off to Chalet Canada for a week of skiing.
